Turns out the MSI Ventus can't even go past 100 percent power limit so even more gimped than this Zotac, I've got it on order, I want to cancel but then I have no GPU for my desktop and want it up and running, can't decided if I cancel of I could still secure another order on a TUF and have it same time as this MSI would arrive. Sea of tears here
It's a pretty poor move from Zotac.
I wonder if they or care just how much damage something like this can do to their reputation.
Due to a great past experience with a Zotac card, every time I look to buy a new card, Zotac is at the top of my list.
Not any more.
It looks increasingly like there isn't much left under the hood in OC terms with the 3080, so Zotac self admittedly gimp the Trinity to make it look better compared to their more expensive offerings.
Shameful practice.
I know one thing for sure, if you buy that card, you will have buyers remorse for every single waking minute, and probably a few sleeping ones too!
Every time you use it, you'll feel despair deeper than the pits of hell, because you know you bought a gimped card, and that you knew it was gimped even as you shelled out your hard earned for it.
